2007 Stand-alone SnugRide® Infant Car Seat Recall

Potential Problem:

Graco® has determined that the backing of the seat pad on certain stand-alone SnugRide® Infant car seats manufactured in the United States, may be prone to deterioration or tearing, especially after washing. If this occurs, children occupying the car seat may be able to remove the padding material from the back of the seat pad and place it in their mouths, posing a potential choking hazard.

This notice does NOT affect SnugRide® car seats sold with a stroller as part of a Travel System.

This issue does NOT affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in the event of a motor vehicle crash.

Check the model number and manufacture date on your car seat to see if your car seat is affected by this notice. If you do not know the model number and date of manufacture of your car seat, you can find it on the label on the back of the car seat. Click here for a sample.

Graco® will be sending a letter to all registered owners of potentially affected SnugRide® car seats. This letter will explain the replacement kit program and how consumers can order a replacement kit.

Until receipt of a replacement kit, you can continue to use your car seat, but Graco® recommends that you monitor the seat pad on a periodic basis to ensure the integrity of the pad and not unnecessarily wash the pad while you await receipt of the replacement kit.
